In order to make this highly specialized wood, liquid acrylic resin is pulled through the wood under suction and then cured. Once dry, these blanks utilize normally unusable/unstable wood, producing some of the most shockingly beautiful projects. The depth of color & amazing patterns possible with stabilized woods truly set these apart. Even the softest spalted wood can be stabilized producing blanks that turn exceptionally well and finish with speed and ease! For production purposes these blanks are unrivaled. One or more colors are often added, enhancing the wood even more. These blanks generally have a 1/16″ up to 3/16″ bow. These are all perfectly usable for two piece pens as the bow is cut out before turning.

Buckeye Burl, Aesculus californica, is one of the most interesting species we carry! We get the burls in whole and mill them right here at our facility into anything from guitar blanks to turning squares. Most pieces have wonderful burl and swirling grain patterns mixed with blue/grey, black & golden color contrast. All pieces have either natural incursions or bark edges that must be worked around. If there is bark on the pieces they cannot be shipped outside of the USA due to strict regulations concerning bark in export. It is useful to stabilize pen blanks and small items with CA glue to obtain a beautiful finish. Kiln dried with nice burl eyes and colors! Bark incursions, and live edges. 1 lb. each.
